Driving Solar Innovation in the U.S. Energy Landscape

Soltec, a Spanish solar tracker specialist, is leading the charge in the U.S. renewable energy market through technological innovation, strategic partnerships, and a deep understanding of the American solar landscape.

Why U.S. Solar Market Matters

The U.S. offers unique conditions for solar energy development:

  • Favorable policy support, particularly through the Inflation Reduction Act.
  • High solar irradiation and vast land availability.
  • A projected solar capacity exceeding 250 GW by 2030.

Soltec entered the market in 2015 and has since made the U.S. its second-largest market, aiming to boost its industrial division sales to 50%.

Strategic Focus and Adaptation

Soltec tailors its approach to meet the regulatory and geographic diversity across U.S. states:

  • Customized solar tracker solutions based on terrain and weather.
  • Adherence to strict safety and quality standards through robust certifications.
  • Strengthened local supplier networks for supply chain reliability.

Technology-Driven Solutions

Soltec showcases two advanced tracker models optimized for the U.S.:

  • SFOne US: A high-density single-row tracker with smart algorithms (TeamTrack, Diffuse Booster, Dy-WIND) to enhance energy capture and reduce operational costs.
  • SF7 US: A two-in-vertical system that increases energy output by 6.2%, adapts to up to 17% slopes, and features hail protection and row-specific tracking for superior terrain performance.

Leading Projects Across the Nation

Soltec has installed over 2 GW of trackers across the U.S., showcasing its adaptability in projects from Virginia to Hawaii:

  • 92 MW in Virginia: Fast-tracked in 6 months, powering over 20,000 homes.
  • 302 MW in Missouri: Soltec’s largest U.S. project, set to serve 100,000 homes and cut 400,000 tons of CO₂ annually.
  • 56 MW in Hawaii: Built to endure extreme wind conditions, now powering 15,000 homes.

By delivering high-efficiency, durable solar tracking systems, Soltec cements its role as a pivotal player in America’s clean energy transition.
